Bug Description

Used Percona mysqld Ver 5.6.19-67.0 for debian-linux-gnu on x86_64 (Percona Server (GPL), Release 67.0, Revision 618)

This is probably an upstream bug already (as it's clearly a query planner fail), but as we're using Percona I probably better report it here to avoid discussions with the MySQL maintainers on bug reports for software not "their own". Maybe you can report this upstream or so, don't know how issues like there are coordinated across the different MySQL forks.

We have a table

  CREATE TABLE `suggestion` (
  `user_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `type` enum('user','group','board','newbie','dating') COLLATE latin1_german2_ci NOT NULL,
  `obj_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `rejected` enum('y','n') COLLATE latin1_german2_ci NOT NULL DEFAULT 'n',
  `flags` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `data` varbinary(32768) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `created` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
  PRIMARY KEY (`user_id`,`type`,`obj_id`),
  KEY `user_id` (`user_id`,`rejected`),
  KEY `type` (`type`,`created`),
  KEY `rejected` (`rejected`,`type`,`created`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COLLATE=latin1_german2_ci;

The table is about 12 GB of data and 40 million rows.

The query:

   SELECT obj_id, flags, data, type FROM suggestion WHERE user_id='7723036' AND type IN ('newbie', 'group') AND rejected='n' AND flags=0 ORDER BY type DESC, created DESC LIMIT 50;

takes about 4 seconds on our system since a Percona 5.6 upgrade from 5.1 as the wrong index ('type') is chosen by the query planner instead of the more optimal PRIMARY KEY. Simply leaving out the "LIMIT 40" fixes the problem - then the proper index for that SELECT (the PRIMARY) will be used. We're currently working around the issue with a FORCE INDEX, but it'd be nice, if the problem could be properly fixed in the planner itself. The query planner obviously re-evaluates the chosen plan due to a low LIMIT value and then chooses a plan with a very high cost as evident from the plan trace:

Query Plan Trace is here:

| SELECT obj_id, flags, data, type FROM suggestion WHERE user_id='7723036' AND type IN ('newbie', 'group') AND rejected='n' AND flags=0 ORDER BY type DESC, created DESC LIMIT 50 | {

This is probably a yet another consequence of bad fix for http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=28404 that still remains (and gives preference to index that allows to avoid ORDER BY with LIMIT N when N is small). it is hard to say is it a new or known bug, at least without a complete repeatable test case.

I'll try to create one and report upstream bug for it, and then let Oracle engineers decide.

I did tried it again by experimenting different values for innodb_stats_persistent_sample_pages and run analyze table few times, different values for LIMIT clause but no luck so far. EXPLAIN output shows query always uses PRIMARY KEY.
Data distribution may be important here. Can you please show me output of

mysql> SELECT type, COUNT(type) FROM suggestion GROUP BY type;
mysql> SELECT rejected, COUNT(rejected) FROM suggestion GROUP BY rejected;
mysql> SELECT flags, COUNT(flags) FROM suggestion GROUP BY flags;

And
mysql> SHOW KEYS FROM suggestion;

Also, may be you can try to run ANALYZE TABLE and check if it improves query execution path.

I still didn't able to reproduce it. I tried to use the same percentage of data distribution among different table fields but no luck yet. It uses the optimal index i.e. PRIMARY KEY for queries regardless used with LIMIT clause or not. It is possible for you to share test data to try to reproduce ?

The first query performs bad, so we added this index:

alter table DownloadConfirmation add index (downloadCompleted, platform, fulfillerId, executionId);

Afterwards the first query was pretty fast, but for the second one the unperformant index was used.
